Ardmore gunning for third final title

MANY of the heroes of Ardmore’s historic Waterford intermediate hurling county final victory last Saturday are back in action again this afternoon, with the seaside club bidding to retain its Under 21 ‘A’ football title against Rathgormack at Walsh Park (2.30pm).

This eagerly awaited decider is one of three football county finals down for decision in the Decies this weekend. Tomorrow the same Walsh Park venue hosts a doubleheader with Clashmore and Newtown set to do battle in the intermediate grade preceded by the meeting of An Gaeltacht and Dunhill/Fenor in the ‘B’ minor football final.

Ardmore has been a hive of unbridled celebration following the historic hurling win last weekend which gives the club its place in the 2003 county senior hurling championship for the very first time. However the Under 21 footballers have had to cut themselves off from all of the high jinks in preparation for today’s eagerly awaited renewal of rivalry with Rathgormack.
